Since my spaceship is on the blink, I had to resort to Google Moon. These are from the far side around the Titov Crater. There appears to be an ancient mining pit as you can see by a definite geometric shape. There are some strange patterns that look like possible activity; they almost look like tracks, but the scale is way to big. Finally, some of these structures may only be a play of the light due to the angle of light.
Titov Crater

This is another crater E-NE of Titov. These look like definite structures! If you go to Titov, you will see all sorts of these anomalies.

Right now on the moon, in one of these structures there's a kid looking at his computer finding cities on earth... LOL! EUREKA!

Another perspective, enhanced. These don't look natural!

An explanation in just five words: "do not use Google Moon" :)
Those "structures" are a result of the resizing/compression used by Google to make the download faster.
GoogleMoon/Mars is only good to find the places, if you want to have a good look at the photos then use the original photos and not the images from Google.
As you can see below, there's a big difference in quality.

ArMap, thanks for cluing me in, I will chalk that up to learning curve. I guess my next question is, what sources are reliable for original pictures?
Sorry for wasting forum space; LOL, I won't be hurt if someone deletes this thread, after all, if it isn't valuable, why take the space?
Thanks ArMap, I appreciate your time! :)

We all had to learn at first. :)

In this case, the photo on Google Moon looked like a Kaguya/Selene photo to me (an it's really a Kaguya/Selene photo), so I went looking for it in the SELENE Data Archive (http://l2db.selene.darts.isas.jaxa.jp/).

To help other people in the same situation. :)
